What Are The Characteristics Of Sanitary Pipe Fittings?

Sanitary pipe fittings are specially designed for pipe connections in pipeline systems in industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and bioengineering. These industries have high requirements for the cleanliness and safety of pipeline systems.

The characteristics of Sanitary Valve are as follows:

Material: Stainless steel (such as 304, 316L, etc.) is usually used as the main material because stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.

Surface treatment: The inner surface of sanitary pipe fittings is usually polished to achieve a finish of Ra (average roughness) below 0.4μm to facilitate cleaning and prevent bacterial growth.

Design: The design of sanitary pipe fittings avoids the use of threaded connections because threads are easy to harbor dirt and are not easy to clean. Common connection methods include welding (automatic welding, manual welding), clamp connection, quick-release connector, etc.

No dead corners: The design of sanitary pipe fittings ensures that there are no dead corners, that is, all corners are smooth transitions to facilitate cleaning and prevent residue accumulation.

Standards: The production and inspection of sanitary pipe fittings usually follow standards such as ISO, ASME BPE, 3A, etc.

Sanitary pipe fittings must have good corrosion resistance, easy cleaning, no dead angle design and standard surface finish.
